ASSEMBLY
Attaching and Removing the Grinding Cage
It is very important that the Grinding Cage is assembled properly in order for
the unit to work.
1. The Grinding Cage is attached to
the inside of the Blending Chamber
with a round Plastic Collar.
2. Place the Grinding Cage with the
smooth end (opposite of end
with three tabs) into the Plastic
Collar and twist until the notch of
the Grinding Cage locks into the
protrusion on the Plastic Collar.
3. Turn the assembled Grinding Cage with Plastic Collar over, so Plastic Collar
is on the top to insert into the base of Blending Chamber.

Screws
Plastic Collar
Grinder
4. Looking down into the interior of the Blending Chamber, you will see two
stainless steel screws. This is where the clips attached to the Plastic Collar
lock the grinding mechanism down.
5. When putting the Plastic Collar into position, align
the Tabs with the indents in the base of the Blending
Chamber. With rm but gentle pressure, press the
Plastic Collar down until the Clips “click” into place.
6. Once everything is in place, make sure the Clips are
pushed inward toward the screws to lock the unit into
position and lift slightly to ensure the Grinding Cage
is locked into position properly and will not release.
Lock and unlock Clips carefully to avoid breaking.
NOTE: IF THE PLASTIC COLLAR IS NOT LOCKED PROPERLY
THE UNIT WILL GRIND BUT WILL NOT DISPENSE.
Now you are ready to enjoy cold, refreshing margaritas
and drinks from your MARGARATOR PLUS!

HOW TO OPERATE
1. Before rst use, remove all packaging materials and detach Blending Chamber from
Base by sliding the three UNLOCK/LOCK switches to the UNLOCK position.
2. Pour warm, soapy water into the Blending Chamber and
dispense all of the soapy water through the Spout.
3. After dispensing all warm, soapy water, rinse by pouring clean water
into the Blending Chamber and dispense clean water through the Spout
until no soapy residue remains and water comes out clean.
4. Wipe down the MARGARITA & SLUSH MACHINE exterior with a clean, nonabrasive cloth or sponge. Dry interior and exterior thoroughly with dry,
non-abrasive cloth or sponge. DO NOT put the Base in water.
5. After drying, rmly attach Blending Chamber to Base by placing the Blending Chamber on
top of the Base so that Spout faces forward and slide the three LOCK/UNLOCK switches to
the LOCK position.
IMPORTANT: Before operating, take extra care to ensure all switches
are in the LOCK position to avoid damaging the unit.
6. If Blending Chamber is attached properly, it will be aligned
with Base so that the Spout is over the Drip Tray.
7. Find a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure the
cord is away from any water source. It is acceptable
to use an extension cord if needed.
8. DO NOT place the MARGARITA & SLUSH MACHINE
near the edge of a table or countertop.
9. Fill the Blending Chamber with ice and ingredients to
the Max Fill line. DO NOT exceed the Max Fill line.

more ice is recommended. It is NOT recommended that you use fruit.

table or countertop underneath the Spout to protect against any drips. NOTE: the Spout
has a locking upright position for lling multiple drink glasses or a pitcher of drinks.
16. If the Spout drips after dispensing, place a glass or container underneath Spout and open
and close the valve by pushing down on the Spout Handle once or twice quickly. Small
ice chips can sometimes get caught in the gasket, preventing it from closing completely.
17. Turn o the unit when desired consistency is achieved and it will
keep your beverage cold until ready to dispense again.

run for 8 seconds to mix before dispensing if unit has been sitting. When
